The seminar will be held at the Osaka Small and Medium Enterprise Investment Development Corporation's headquarters and will also be accessible online via Zoom.

Challenges in Hiring and HR Systems

Numerous companies are grappling with the paradox of recruiting talent only to see them leave within a year or fail to engage younger employees. The root of these issues often lies in unclear hiring requirements and a lack of alignment within existing HR systems. ZenX has been at the forefront of addressing these challenges by integrating recruitment design, system development, and organizational growth through its innovative HR Business Process as a Service (HR BPaaS). With a successful track record of supporting over 150 businesses, ZenX is well-equipped to provide actionable insights during this forum.

The seminar will systematically present strategies that prevent mismatches in hiring processes and foster employee retention. Attendees can expect a comprehensive exploration of concepts and techniques that can be effectively implemented in real workplaces.
